| HUGE Spacious Surrounds - The Eldartford: I could connect only the 901 surrounds from the AVP's pre-outs to a Yamaha reciever with ARC. Then, route the pre-amp signal to the AMP 5 and to the 901's. The ARC may flatten the 901's out. A EQ, analog SLM and calibration CD may help... | |
| Center channels: why only horizontal arrays? Rather, the RF-7's are positioned in the usual VERTICAL array flanking the monitor. | |
| Beatles Without George Martin? I'd say he actually contributed to the creative process of many songs. Suggestions in recording studios have synergy or not. Paul called him after they produced recordings elsewhere. Paul wanted the Beatles to record together like they use to do. ... | |
| Pair of JL Audio F110-Good Subs??? I called JL Audio when I was shopping. The techs said for their own systems, they prefer two f-112's over a single F-113. They felt the detail was better reproduced. Makes perfectly good sense, too. Both are certainly great reference, statement qu... | |
| I Need Help Picking a Sub Matching ML may be best. I'm very happy with a SVS Ultra 13 for both HT and music. It was $1,500 direct from SVS as refurbished with their full warranty. Very user friendly with several connection options and sound set-up adjustments. | |
| Center channels: why only horizontal arrays? Definately, matched is best. However, that's not always possible, especially with rare, or very expensive, or huge mains. I wired two Klipsch RF-7's (modified horn crossovers) together in mono through my processor, flanking my 60" monitor. Each RF... | |
| HUGE Spacious Surrounds - The Hi Eldartford,The Behringer DEQ 2496 is one I am considering. I have a Fostex stereo recording EQ that may work. Were you able to enhance the 901's treble and bass responces better? Especially, adding that sparkle mentioned by Knownothing? I can a... | |
| HUGE Spacious Surrounds - The A different, multi-band stereo EQ (probably active) may help boost original 901 drivers better than the stock EQ. Or, that, plus, possibly adding two or three high end tweeters. 1 up front and 2 on the rear panels. Balancing this modification and ... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? A beautiful pair of 20 year old Yamaha TX-1 powered cathedral monitors. | |
| New CDP - Matching Specs Proceed Components Connection note: The Proceed AVP2 +6 and AMP 5 have true balanced and RCA connections. The AVP has direct multi-channel RCA's. Thanks | |
| Sony Playstation 1 for a CD player ??? I have a 1001 model. After making connections and pressing reset, I still cannot get the player to spin or Q-up. Are memory cards required to be installed for it to play? | |
| Best power conditioner? Cipherjuris - long ago and excellent post. The dedicated A/V circuit from the circuit breaker is a great "front end" to power conditioning. I'm in NE Florida where lightening is on the cooks short order menu. Some strikes are hard to stop. On a pa... | |
| The best CD Player for the money Yes - my 981 OPPO has volume control on the remote. | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? I'd prefer a Corvette ZR-1 and TRD supercharged Tundra 4x4. JAX FL Auto Show - appealing way understates the ZR-1. All of mine are pre-owned and in great shape, except the Tundra I bought on a new promotion. Three '96's and a 2004 truck. Black Lex... | |
| Newbie needs advice for upgrade. Escudemor,I recommended active over passive studio monitors based on your experience and questions. Active monitors will make your component matching easier. By choosing active monitors, you won't have to match amps and speakers. Active studio mon... |
